Overview

  • Intro: why is digital content important?
  • SALURBAL digital content infrastructure
  • Examples digital content for SALURBAL 1/2
  • Context within SALURBAL II aims

Intro

Thinking web first and why its important

  • Traditional academia, peer review journals are ideas are exchanged but for non-academics the internet is how ideas are exchanged.
  • To increase impact we have to be able to share our ideas and data via the internet.
  • How do we do this?
  • What could SALURBAL II digital content look like?

How do we do this?

The SALURBAL project has a few unique selling points:

  • comprehensive harmonized multi-national data assets
  • networks across latin america

Increasing the the online presence of these two selling points would greatly increase our potential impact. To do this there are two main steps:

  • Step 1: Basic Infrastructure
    • FAIR/machine-actionable renovations of existing datasets
    • Strict standards for new dataset/codebook formats
    • Set up online interface for data and digital content
  • Step 2 Digital content (all hosted on SALURBAL portal):
    • Bigger initiatives:
      • Centralized at SALURBALs
      • Ideation -> Design -> Engineering
    • Analyst/group level content:
      • Decentralized analyst/group level content
      • Generated with tools familiar to group Quarto, Shiny, ArcGIS .. ETC

Step 1: SALURBAL infrastructure

Over the past year we have been working on the SALURBAL data platform.

Moving into SALURBAL 2, we hope to leverage our infrastructure to generate much more digital content.

Step 2: Digital Content

Data driven story telling has seen a recent boom.

Step 2: Digital Content

Below we list a few of the trends in digital content that we have/will adapted for SALURBAL.

  • City Profiles + Automated reports
  • Long form visualization
    • for telling stories
    • for explaining models
  • Interactive blogs
  • Dashboards

Fitting into SALURBAL2

  • Aim 1 (data resource + “epi-ish analysis”)
    • Data repository (continuing FAIR data infrastructure, incorporate data, etc.)
    • Long form visualizations of results or methods
    • Interactive blogs of results
  • Aim 2 (impact of mitigation/adaptation policies)
    • Long form visualizations of case studies
    • Dashboards with HIA results (ability to switch levers)
  • Aim 3 (dissemination/engagement)
    • “All of the above” but much more targeted
    • Automated reports ~ City profiles
  • Aim 4 (capacity building & project governance)
    • ? (Workshops on visualization/programming? Engineering capacity building?)
